  1. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I was surprised to have Republicans turn against Ukraine and I don't have my head all the way around it. I guess that it is mainly fealty to Trump and Trump's fascination with Putin, but I am amazed that it all got together as strong as it did. I am pretty much certain that at this point Putin...

    I felt pretty good in 2020 when consistent polling on state by state was showing Biden winning for pretty much the whole month before the election. It is too soon for me to be confident. A lot can change in either direction. In spite of all of the stuff in Trump's first term, Biden didn't win...
  3. Marvel Cinematic Universe - General Thread

    Everything just came to life the size it already was. The Juggernaut on her shirt was really big for the cityscape on the comic in front of her. There is no hero in the entire clip that is their correct size. Look at Colossus twice as tall as DareDevil. DareDevil was on a comic cover and...

    When Sasuke goes to Orochimaru and he and Naruto fight, Naruto uses some 9 Tails chakra and Sasuke is all freaked out and can't figure out what is going on and it seems WAY late into the story for him to not know what is going on there. Maybe people don't talk and his parents died before they...

    The American dub is a little unclear because of how they wanted to tell the story differently. Everyone seems to know Naruto has the Nine-Tails, but no one seems to expect much from that. In the original Japanese there is more secrecy both from the other characters and from the audience. But...

    And also got the headlines to be about booing Trump instead of the guy they nominated for President.
  7. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I don't understand why a Libertarian convention invited Trump to speak. As much as he deserves to get booed, it is pretty crass to invite someone you are going to boo to speak at your event.

    Naruto changed a lot in the skip.

    I don't think you appreciate how difficult bone spurs have made his life.

    A few months ago, I started rewatching Naruto in the background. I liked it and found a lot of it meaningful to me 20 years ago or so. I'm watching on Netflix, so the American dub that did change some stuff around, but I have been enjoying it. The other day I got to where Sasuke left and...

    They are planning to do the second book, which is shorter.

    It's both. I'm really not sure how dumb Trump is. I know he isn't smart like you and me. But I often think that he knows a lot of the stuff he says isn't true. Other times I think he doesn't know what is true and actually doesn't even believe in truth and thinks the truth is just whatever...
  14. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I think his position is generally that what goes around comes around. He whines that he's being persecuted, but he also wears it as a badge and says that now that they've opened up the can, it is just going to be how things are done.
  15. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    The droid had a name. He remembered Anakin's name and spent far less time with him. I mean...this is an inconsistency in ANY case and maybe it should be left at that, but in story it could be a strong indication that Shmi hadn't been in his family long and he didn't much care about her. The...

    If Shmi meant a whole lot to him (we didn't really get to see) he might have recognized C-3PO when he showed up again.

    Step-brother who was gone before they ever met Shmi. He never met him except that one time he showed up and killed a bunch of Tuskens. When Obi-Wan shows up at that guy's door, they say "Why don't YOU raise this kid?"
  18. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I don't think I've seen the Attack of the Clones deleted scenes. It could be done different ways. I don't think you were really wrong before. I can see your point about how it helps explain Anakin. I don't think that's really what Lucas had in mind. I think he just wanted to have an origin...
  19. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I was in college when Episode 1 came out and I was hyped and liked it. I don't like Jar Jar or any of the Gungan stuff. They fixed the bad Yoda puppet later. I liked the movie less over time, but really when I think back on it there isn't a lot that I dislike. Mostly just Gungan stuff...
